Garden of Eve by Olga Bakhtina

This duplex is part of the 2021 series of ‘Garden of Eden’ in which every work is a story being told. It’s an attempt to create a dreamy new world of harmony, a civilisation of peace and serenity, where dreams come true, and worries do not exist. The series is about humanity, about what truly matters: love, romance, keeping childhood dreams, believing in miracles, the love of adventure, and finding harmony. It is an optimist’s visual feast in which I honour the human spirit, strength, and courage. Artistically, the series is about finding harmony through the balance of colours and geometrical shapes. It is also about finding a stylised metaphorical language, a kind of a child’s simplified way of telling a story. Through the classical approach with a contemporary twist, the series was an ambitious attempt to give the images the air of a parable, as well as the grace and grandeur of Renaissance frescoes. Size: 120cm x 75cm x 2cm consisting of 2 separate canvases (Diptych). Can be hung joined or separately. Edges painted black. Can be hung framed or unframed.
